Two Northern California Realtor associations have joined the largest MLS in the nation, California Regional MLS.

Brokers and agents who choose to join CRMLS will have access to a pool of more than 100,000 active listings across the state and to a variety of tools.

CRMLS's goal is still to build a statewide MLS, but that progress has been slowed by "politics," according to CRMLS CEO Art Carter.

California Regional Multiple Listing Service — the nation’s largest MLS — took another step toward becoming statewide this week. CRMLS, which has more than 80,000 agent and broker subscribers, has added two local Realtor associations to its membership roster, bringing the total to 36 across the state.
